A House of PrayerIsaiah 56:7
No. 329"for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations."Isaiah 56:7
Jesus quoted this when He drove out the money changers — the temple had become a market instead of a prayer house. The church is meant to be, before anything else, a house of prayer. And by extension, you — as God's temple — are meant to be a person of prayer.
Reflect
Is prayer central or peripheral in your life? What would it mean to be primarily a person of prayer?
Prayer
Lord, make me a house of prayer. Let prayer be my first instinct, not my last resort. Amen.
